As anti-immigration sentiments rise, the European Union appears to be embracing stricter polices regarding migration, mirroring some of the approaches seen under President Trump in the United States. Nicola Procaccini, an Italian lawmaker from the Brothers of Italy party, suggests that once marginalized hardliners in immigration policy are now gaining respectability as mainstream politicians adopt tougher stances.
This transition highlights the profound shift across the EU's political spectrum, as both right and left factions unite to impose stricter measures against undocumented migrants. Key initiatives are surfacing across the union, including Denmark's zero refugee policy, which has become a model for others. EU officials are currently crafting regulations to facilitate the deportation of illegal migrants and recently established a plan to strengthen border control through new agents stationed in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Although irregular border crossings into the EU increased post-pandemic, recent trends show a decline, as enforcement measures intensify. The evolving dynamics of immigration in Europe reveal a significant and entrenched political consensus towards heightened border security and reduced protections for asylum seekers, signaling a fundamental change in the region's migration landscape.
